Sheriff’s deputies arrested two men suspected of robbing a Wellington convenience store at gunpoint earlier this month.

Christopher Glen Agnew, 21, was arrested Tuesday, and Jeffrey Alonzo Varos, 20, was arrested Dec. 12. The two are suspected of entering the store Dec. 4, when one of the men pointed a gun at the clerk as the other gave instructions. They fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to Larimer County Sheriff’s Office.

Agnew was arrested as investigators observed him on the street. Varos was arrested during a SWAT team operation on the 3700 block of Henderson Avenue in Wellington. The men each face one felony count of aggravated robbery and one count of misdemeanor theft.

Both men remain in Larimer County Jail. Agnew also was booked on two unrelated warrants of failure to appear on previous charges of theft and drunken driving. His bond is $25,393, and Varos’ bond is $25,000.

Anyone with information regarding this or other crimes is asked to call the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office at (970) 416-1985 or Crime Stoppers at (970) 221-6868, where tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.
